prettygoodwordsperate (SPI-rat) - adj., hoped for; esp. (Law) of a debt, having some likelihood of recovery.
To quote a legal dictionary, "In the accounts of an executor and the inventory of the personal assets, he should distinguish between those assets [that is, debts owed the estate] which are sperate, and those which are desperate." Adopted from Latin speratus, past participle of sperare, to hope.
---L.
